Wow. Im surprised this (http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/fly_TI_09.htm) bike isn't more popular. Ti frame, full XTR, Avid hydraulics... 19.8lbs! Geometry looks pretty good. This might be my next bike.

The Deal: This bicycle is available for pre-payment to ship around September 15th. Most sizes will sell out prior to arrival date
PrePay now for the best price. The INSTOCK price maybe at least $100 more.
The Process: When you order, your card will be billed for the full amount. You will then get an automatic email reply by the next business day. For example a Friday order will get an email on Monday. Weekends/Holidays are not counted as "days".
The email contains a tracking number which will NOT show movement until around September 15th.

Wow this looks like a good one, but I would want to test ride it first.

Just had a person call me yesterday.. crashed their Motobecane and broke the derailleur hanger. They were looking for a replacement. Guess what? I sure don't have one in stock, and I'm pretty darn sure no shop in the state will have one. Can't order one, Wheels MFG doesn't make a compatible one like they do for countless other LBS bikes that I could just order out of QBP.

yay mailorder!

Agree on that, but WTF does there have to be so many hanger designs?

One nice thing Yeti has done is keeping the one design on every model Iron horse has over a dozen? Not sure what Trek, Specialized, Turner, etc, have done.

Specialized is ok.. they tend to be somewhat consistent with hanger design. I've got 6 different styles in stock but they'll cover almost anything they've made in the last 10 years.

I'm just glad that Wheels MFG stepped up to the plate and is offering hangers for almost every common brand out there. Makes life a bit easier.
